The first plant shown in the picture above is from the first week of the project. This plant was measured at 2.5 inches. Some of the changes that our group saw as the plant grew to be 2.5 inches were the growth of leaves and a stem. The seed that we started with was only a bean. It was measured at .5 inches. This means the plant grew 2 inches in 2 weeks. We predict that the next time we measure the plant it will have grown 2 more inches.
Measurement #2:
The second plant in the above picture is from the second week of the experiment. When measured the plant was 4 inches tall. Some of the observations we noticed were a third leaf grew and the plant became too heavy to support itself so a stake was added to support the plant. Our group predicts that the plant will only grow another inch by the next measurement time.
Measurement #3:
The third plant in the above picture is from the third week of the experiment. When measured the plant was 7 inches tall. Some of the observations that our group noticed were several more leaves grew on the plant, all at different spots on the stem. Our group predicts that the final measurement of the plant will be at 11 inches.
Measurement #4:
The fourth plant in the above picture is from the fourth and final week of the experiment. When measured the plant was 13 inches. Our observations were the leaves grew larger than they were before and there are still more leaves being grown along the stem. Many times our hypothesis' were wrong which shows that sometimes the growth of a plant cannot be guessed about.
